How long do mountain bike forks last? What are the factors that affect the performance of forks?

The length of the life of the mountain bike fork, the state of use and maintenance; 2. What type of road to ride on; Third, the manufacturing quality is also an important factor that affects the life of the bicycle.

The factor that affects the performance of the fork is to absorb the vibrations from the road surface and absorb the force fed back from the road surface in different ways. Although the functions are almost identical, the design of the different shocks is very different. Not only are there significant differences in structure, price, response speed, and even durability.

Maintenance of the fork:

1. Cleaning: After each ride, regardless of time and distance, keep the shock absorber basically clean. Because outdoor wind, sand, rain, and even insects can cause shock absorber failure.

2. Check the oil and air pressure: After about 50 to 100 hours of riding, you must check the oil pressure and air pressure. In order to maintain the normal pressure, it is also necessary to check whether there is any oil leakage.

3. Disassembly and maintenance: After about half a year of use, no matter how many hours you ride, it is recommended to bring the shock absorber back to the original factory or certified store for maintenance. The main parts are disassembled, thoroughly inspected and lubricated to maintain the life of the shock absorbers.

How long the fork life of a mountain bike depends on what kind of bike you use and what you do it for. And there are many kinds of mountain bikes, if you buy that kind of downhill mountain bike, and just ride to the countryside on holidays, it is estimated that your fork will not be a problem for ten years. If you buy an entry-level regular mountain bike and use it to play downhill.

That one can be scrapped.

Manufacturing level, material selection.

Summary. Turning the handlebars and fork can change the direction of the front wheel, which plays a guiding role for the bike. In addition, it can also play a role in controlling the bicycle movement.

The stress of the fork parts belongs to the cantilever beam nature, so the fork parts must have sufficient strength and other properties The bicycle fork has been developed very well in the domestic status quo The steering of various cars is with reference to the bicycle fork.

Dear Hello I'm glad to answer for you to inquire about the bicycle originated in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868) in November, Shanghai for the first time from Europe to transport a few bicycles, is a person sitting in the car, two feet on tiptoe to lead the car away amateur pastime entertainment means of transportation His fork is also a steering system The development has become a reference material for the steering system of motorcycles and many cars It is the ancestor of the steering system.

Pro: The previous bicycle fork did not have a front shock absorber The development has already had the smoothness of the fork A good suspension fork must be smooth in addition to the combination of suitable spring and suspension damping.

The reason why the old bicycle is called "28 big bars" is because foreign bicycles at that time were popular to use wheels with a diameter of 28 inches, such large wheels, which can make the riding process stable and fast. For the safety and firmness of the vehicle, the frame is designed to be triangular, so there is a steel beam between the front of the car and the saddle.

I'm looking for some information to write about** is the research status of bicycle forks in China.

So far, the bicycle has been very developed, and there are digital meters.

Dear, you mainly write about the steering system, and you can't write about the fork of that bike all the time, and you can't write so many words on the fork of a bike.

You have to know that a good ** is a few thousand words.

The bicycle fork part is in the front part of the bicycle structure, and its upper end is connected with the handlebar part, and the frame part is matched with the front tube, and the lower end is matched with the front axle part to form the guiding system of the bicycle.

Turning the handlebars and fork can change the direction of the front wheel, which plays a guiding role for the bike. In addition, it can also play a role in controlling the bicycle movement. The stress of the fork parts belongs to the cantilever beam nature, so the fork parts must have sufficient strength and other properties The bicycle fork has been developed very well in the domestic status quo The steering of various cars is with reference to the bicycle fork.

Pro: Features and applications of bicycle forks too.

Dear Hello, I'm glad to answer for you The bicycle fork is characterized by a spring that has been used on moto for the longest time and is also the most common kind of spring. The hardness of the spring, the so-called elastic coefficient, represents the ratio of force to deformation.

Pro: The front fork of the bicycle should be used for air pressure Because the air is light, the use of air as a spring is very suitable for the bicycle But it is more suitable for the motorcycle Although the history of the bicycle is relatively long, but it is still used in the motorcycle more.

The stroke is the size of the outer tube that can enter the outer tube at most when it is under pressure, that is, the size of the maximum shock absorption effect.

80mm means that the fork can achieve suspension in the range of 80mm, and if the force is large enough to exceed 80mm to achieve suspension, the extra force will have to be borne by the rider or the fork will be damaged.

An 80-100 stroke fork for a normal off-road ride is sufficient, and at most 60% of that stroke is used. More than 100 forks, mostly used on FR (free ride) and DH (downhill) mountain bikes.

In addition, the stroke also affects the size of the fork, the fork with a 100mm stroke will naturally be higher than the fork with an 80mm stroke, and it also has some impact on efficiency, so the mountain cross-country competition will generally choose a harder 80mm fork, if it is an ordinary casual ride, the 100mm fork may be more comfortable.

Happy riding!

The true XC fork is 80 stroke. You can take a look at the major competitions. The XC race is to win on the hill. The lower the angle in front of the car, the faster the climb and the less tiring it is.

The forks of the 60 strokes are all things of the 90s...

The 80mm classic forks are SID Team Fox F80X RLC Matsu from WC Magura's RL and so on, and these forks are all 80 stroke, of course, there are also 100 stroke versions. However, many XC cars come standard with 80 strokes.

More than 100 are used by regular bicycles.

For the sake of the task, I don't hesitate to take the chances, sorry.

Priority more than 3000 vehicles, must be oil spring forks, the left is fine-tuned resilience, in fact, the tuning can not be felt.

The point is, on the right, if you can only lock and open two states, it is the mechanical lock fork, which is relatively low-end.

If you can press down half of the lock, it is an XCM-level hydraulic lock-out fork, which is basically a good entry.

Flat roads and uphill roads are locked, which is easy to exert force.

Bumpy road conditions and downhill slopes open for suspension.

1, yes 2, the two adjustment buttons have their own role. One is the fork lock-up, and the other is the adjustment of soft and hard.

3. When the plus sign rotates clockwise, the shock will be adjusted relatively harder, and it will not be so soft when pressed. The minus sign is the opposite.

4. One sign with a lock is locked, and the other is unlocked.

5. Don't adjust during riding, be sure to get off the bike to adjust.

Generally speaking, it is an oil spring fork.

There are two that control the left and right forks separately. The left side is mainly responsible for adjusting the soft and hard, and the right side is mainly responsible for locking and rebounding.

The knob on the left adjusts the preload stroke, which is also the softness and hardness of the entire fork. - + Indicates the adjustment direction of the degree of hardness and softness.

In the right locked position, the fork is basically unable to absorb, but in the open state, the degree of suspension needs to be adjusted on the left side.

In the same road condition, if you have a large weight, you need to adjust the left side to be harder. The lighter ones need to be softer. A certain preload stroke is used to ensure a comfortable level.

At the same weight, recreational riding and bumpy sections require softer suspension for comfort, while smooth sections do not.

There are three things to keep in mind when upgrading your forks:

1. Whether the head tube of the frame is a straight tube or a conical tube, if it is a conical tube, you need to know whether it is a standard conical or a small cone. (i.e., the inner diameter of the upper and lower parts of the head tube.) ）

2. The size of the wheel set currently used in the frame, the size of the fork is large, it looks ugly, and it is not easy to control, and the wheel block cannot be installed if it is small.

3. Whether the brake is a V brake or a disc brake, there must be a corresponding mount on the fork.

Generally size 31,8... The key is to look at the head tube of your frame, whether it's straight or tapered.

Is your wheel set stacked or ordinary If it's an ordinary V-brake, it still depends on your original fork with brake AB pillar?

The coordination of the frame with the fork, and the category of the gear set, the type of head tube, the type of brakes,

There are only two things to note: 1. Whether your frame head tube is straight or tapered.

2 Fork cut length.

Most of them are generic and mainly look at the bowl group.
